Chapter 175

One is to use time to grab more nutrients from this world, and the other is to study one's own power while walking.

In the beginning, it was just Xixiang, but gradually the shadow stayed with him.

If there are twenty-four hours in a day, then Xixiang spends more than sixteen hours with his sister-in-law every day.

"I also know that I have reached a bottleneck in martial arts and it is very difficult to improve."

"...But as long as I am a little stronger than the day before every day, and add up, I will be able to break through this bottleneck one day."

"Of course, what my brother-in-law said is reasonable. If you want to master stronger power faster and protect your sister, studying the elements is indeed the best way."

"...It's just that I don't know where to start researching."

Ying walked to Xixiang and sat down slowly. She put a jade hand on her chin, looking thoughtful.

Most of the demon gods in this world only use authority and elemental power, but do not understand the root of this power.

Xixiang happens to be a research-oriented talent. Naturally, under the influence of Xixiang, Kage also wants to explore the nature of his power.

"You haven't been to the Dark Sea, right? Shadow..."

Saigo raised Dream Isshin and looked at the sharp blade.

He turned his head to look at Ying sitting next to him, noticed her delicate white-capped mountain peaks, and thought of the way Ying used her body to draw a sword when the two sides were hostile on Ba Ling Island.

This makes Xixiang always have the urge to put his dream back into the sheath.

"The Dark Sea? Although the southernmost part of Inazuma is the edge of the world, I have never been there."

"...As a demon god, my instinct tells me that the dark sea is very dangerous and is not a place where a demon god like me should go."

Shadow said slowly.

"It is indeed not a place where the devil lives for a long time, but if you have time, I suggest you go to the Dark Sea."

"...Don't go deep into it, just look at the border between Inazuma and the Ankai Sea. Once you see the real Ankai Sea, I think you will have a deeper understanding of the elements of this world."

Saigo suggested with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jingqing smiled and nodded: "...Since it is my brother-in-law's suggestion, I will definitely go there."

Shadow then saw that his purple stockings were stained with mud.

She frowned, kicked off her clogs, and didn't care that Xixiang was right next to her. She bent down like a willow, pulled the edge of her socks with her jade hands, and gently took them off.

···········Please ask for flowers··········

As the socks came off, her long, white, plump and straight legs were revealed.

Ying's skin is white and translucent, and you can even see a few light cyan blood vessels on her slender skin.

She held her dirty stocking between her two fingers and threw it into the creek beside her. The stocking floated into the distance along with the turbulent stream and falling snowy cherry blossoms.

The only bad thing about sparring with Saigo is that Kage always gets some dirt on his body.

Ying stretched out his long legs that were glowing with white light, and a pair of pink jade feet were soaked in the clear water in front of him, giving off a faint luster under the sunlight.

Xixiang took advantage of the situation and laid the back of his head on Ying's lap. He put his dream aside and squinted his eyes slightly to enjoy the afternoon.

........ . . . . . . . . .

Ying Ying's flawless jade face was slightly flushed, but she looked calm, like an old monk in meditation, straightening her back and closing her beautiful eyes like Xixiang, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

She sighed in her heart, if only this was the eternity she expected.

The breeze blew the cherry blossoms all over the sky, and the two of them just enjoyed themselves in silence.

I don’t know how long it had passed before I heard footsteps stepping on the grass.

Although the sound was slight, it interrupted the peace and tranquility.

Not far away, a fox girl wearing a miko costume, with pale hair and a gentle smile was walking over carrying a dinner plate.

Next to the fox, there was a ghost girl with a slender figure, long hair, and a slightly childish face.

"There is also Chiyo-chan in Foxsai Palace..."

Ying opened her beautiful eyes slightly, turned her head sideways, revealing her perfect profile, and softly called the person's name.

"Am I disturbing you?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Huzhai Palace's eyes, he tilted his head and asked with a chuckle.

Shadow shook his head.

"Ying, now I have to doubt who married the emperor. I think it's not really a marriage at all, it's you who got married."

"...But you sisters are both called gods, so it doesn't matter who gets married."

Hu Zhaigong covered his lips and chuckled, his eyes full of amusement.

Ying looked a little shy and scolded: "...Huzhai Palace, don't talk nonsense!"

Hu Zhai Palace's words were as if she had robbed her sister's husband.

"Yes, yes, I won't say anymore."

Hu Zhai Palace lengthened his tone and said death with a smile.

Chapter 93 Huzhai Palace: How does I wonder how the shadow tastes?

"It's Huzhai Palace. What delicious food did you cook today?"

Xixiang, who was lying on Ying Fengrun's lap, opened his eyes. He slowly stood up and stretched lazily, and then looked at the fox.

"This is a new pastry I learned. It's called Mizuxingenmochi. It was invented by Inazuma's shop not long ago. It not only looks good, but also tastes good."

"...This is the little girl's first time. I hope the emperor will taste it first."

Hu Zhai Palace showed a shy look, with charming eyes.

"Are you fox tribe like you, always like to seduce people?"

Xixiang shook his head and smiled.

"The emperor's words have hurt the hearts of the entire Fox clan. How can we say that all of us Fox clan have this kind of character?"

"...Besides, I didn't seduce anyone, I just told the truth."

Hu Zhaigong gently covered her cherry lips with her hands, laughing endlessly.

The palace secretary of Narukami Taisha Shrine has the same personality as "813". He has a maternal tenderness similar to Raiden Jin, but also has a naughty and mischievous attitude like the girl next door.

"I'm not wrong. I think the next Narukami Palace Secretary will definitely be just like you, a seductive fox."

Xixiang said with a raised eyebrow.

"The next palace minister? I hope someone can take over my position soon. It's really tiring to be busy in the shrine every day."

"...If someone can take over my position, I can retire."

"But now Lord Bai Chen has fewer and fewer heirs, and our fox clan has gradually lost its spirituality."

Huzhai Palace sighed softly, with a somewhat uncomfortable tone.

The Bai Chen she spoke of was the ancestor of their Daowu Fox Clan, the oldest fox fairy.

Even the ancient fox spirit was before Inazuma Narukami.

But even the demon god has to face wear and tear, and the fox fairy was also mentally damaged after so many years and passed away long ago.

Bai Chen's descendants are also passed down, and Hu Zhai Palace is one of the descendants of that fox fairy.

"If you don't talk about these things, Emperor, come and try this Shuixinxuan Cake."

"...This cake is made with agar agar, white jelly, ice powder and gelatine. It tastes pretty good, but it took me a long time to learn the beautiful shape."

Hu Zhai Palace's tone was quite proud.

She brought the plate, which was covered with a few green leaves, and took off the green leaves, revealing the true face of Shuixinxuan cake.

It was like jelly and amber, and the round jelly, as transparent as glass, actually contained landscape paintings, including cherry blossoms, leaves, and rockeries, all placed in a paradise.

This is more of a work of art than a dessert.

Seeing this, Xixiang praised: "...your craftsmanship definitely surpasses the founder of this dessert."

Ordinary people, no matter how skilled they are, cannot put a landscape painting into a small transparent pastry like Huzhai Palace.

"Hehe, thank you for the emperor's compliment."

Huzhai Palace smiled sweetly with warm eyes.

"What price did you pay to learn this dessert? Since it is a newly invented secret that has not been passed down, it is not easy to learn it."

Xixiang walked to the lawn and sat down. Hu Zhai Palace had already laid out the tablecloths and placed the desserts one after another on the tablecloth.

"The price I paid was simple. I just promised the master not to teach this skill to others."

"...and I also promised him to help him promote this dessert in the name of Narukami Taisha Shrine, and told him that this dessert is exquisite and may become Inazuma's classic snack in the future."

"I still have a good reputation as the Palace Secretary of Narukami Taisha Shrine. When the other party heard about it, he was happy to teach me."

Hu Zhai Palace said softly. After putting away the snacks, she took out a wine flask from her arms: "...This is wine brewed by the Kamisato family using a special technique."

"... Last time the emperor said that his family brewed good wine, the Kamisato family regarded this wine as a treasure. Except for enshrining it in the castle tower, no one else would drink it."

Huzhai Palace took out a wine glass and poured wine for Xixiang.

"Everyone in the gods is full of smart people."

Xixiang took the wine glass and said.

"Although Shefengxing is only in charge of sacrifices and culture, it seems that the power is not as powerful as Tianlingfengxing and Appointment Fengxing."

"...However, the Kamisato family also takes advantage of this to stay out of politics. They don't have as many troubles as the other two major clans."

"As long as the general does not give orders, the three observances are equal in status. To a certain extent, the Kamisato family who are obedient to the community can use this to transcend others."

Hu Zhai Palace is naturally very familiar with Inazuma's political affairs, she said with a soft smile.

"Of course, if you are the emperor and you give the order, it will be the same."

The palace secretary of Narukami Taisha Shrine smiled coquettishly again.

Although Xixiang is the emperor of Liyue, he is also the husband of the general, which represents the diplomatic relationship between Liyue and Dao's wife.

Nowadays, Daozu and Liyue are engaged in trade, relying on the port of Liyue, and Daozu's merchants are also traveling around the world.

Dao Wife is short of material resources, but it also has some special products. Taking advantage of the Liyue Trade Road, Dao Wife Mora's income has greatly increased.

Compared with decades ago, the lives of the people of Daozhu are better...

Now Dao Wife and Liyue are in the honeymoon period. Naturally, Xixiang, the Liyue emperor who married a general, has great prestige in Dao Wife.

Not to mention that Saigo is also the great god of high heaven in Kaiji Island. Kaiji Island is more like a vassal state than a part of Inazuma, obeying the orders of the shogunate but also having autonomy.

The people of Haizhi Island now occupy two islands, Haizhi and Baling. The Haizhi people, who are good at picking pearls, also sell their own pearls to all over the world through Dao Zhi and Liyue's business.

Compared to when they first came from Yuanxia to Yuanshang a few decades ago, the lives of the Haizhi people have changed drastically.

"Listen to what you said, Huzhai Palace. If the Kamisato family makes a mistake next time, I will find an opportunity to cancel the social order and demote the Kamisato family into slaves."

Saigo said jokingly.

The fox ears of the Fox Palace trembled, and he gave Xixiang a charming look and said: "...The patriarch of the Kamisato family will come to the castle tower and hug your thighs and cry bitterly."

"This has nothing to do with me. It's all the fault of you, the Palace Secretary of Narukami Taisha Shrine."

Xixiang laughed and said.

"What does this have to do with me? The emperor doesn't want to spit on others."

"...Okay, come and try the Xuan Pancake I made."

Hu Zhaigong held the dinner plate in his left hand and the wooden fork in his right hand. He approached Xixiang without avoiding suspicion, put the dessert on the wooden fork, and handed it to Xixiang's mouth.

Xixiang didn't care, he just opened his mouth and ate the dessert that Hu Zhai Palace put to his mouth.

"Emperor, how does it taste like 5.5?"

Huzhai Palace said with a smile.

“It tastes great.”

Xixiang nodded and said.
